         Probe Testing Facts  | 
    
    
      | Image Quality is the most important
        factor according to a survey of ultrasound sonographers. | 
      Fact:
        We have found that 25% of the
        ultrasound probes, in use today,
        have image robbing defects. |

      Most
        ultrasound image problems are caused by a defective probe. | 
    
    
      | Fact: 
        Many defects, if detected early enough, are repairable at a fraction of
        the cost of replacement. | 
    
    
      Why have
        your probes tested? 
        
          - To achieve the quality images your system was designed to
            deliver.
 
          - Test new or refurbished replacement probes before you accept
            them.
 
          - Meet accreditation criteria.
 
          - Avoid the added expense of trying to use a defective

        Phantoms found "not effective" in testing ultrasound probes as
        stated in the magazine 24X7, July, 2002, page 20. "An ultrasound phantom
        cannot tell the user if an ultrasound probe is functioning
        properly.  It cannot tell if there is a dead element in the
        transducer or transmitter or if there is a problem with the
        receiver." Click here for

        the "FirstCall 2000" probe testing system made by Sonora
        Medical Systems, to give you a
        complete report on the condition of your probes. 
        This is like a medical record for your probes. |
